E-Publishing To Support E-Learning: Towards E-Environment In Education

E-learning initiative has become very popular. Many universities either local or international have established E-learning, whether as a teaching medium or as one of the courses. To support these initiatives and to fulfill E-learning agenda, E-learning required support from other “E” domains, including E-publishing. E-Publishing can fulfill wholly or partly, E-learning knowledge requirement. This knowledge traditionally published, as printed materials can be very consuming in term of cost and mobility. Hence, EPublishing is vital to support E-learning initiatives. This approach may contribute to the implementation of the total E-environment in education. This paper also discusses epublishing workflow and a model of fifth generation distance education, which aims to capitalize on the features of the Internet and the web technology.
